Last year marked the 40th anniversary of Paul Weller’s ﬁrst album, In The City, which he released with The Jam in May 1977.

For most artists such a landmark would be greeted with extensive retrospective celebrations: lavish reissues and all that jazz. But Paul Weller is not like most artists, instead releasing anew studio album, because releasing new albums is what Paul Weller does. Always moving forward, almost clinically averse to nostalgia or checking his progress in the rear-view mirror. And so, continuing his never-ending creative peak, Paul Weller released his eagerly awaited 13th studio album A Kind Revolution to critical acclaim.
